This means a lot... Miles to go #15YearsOfVishnuVishal #LalSalaam (sic).”

Vishnu Vishal has made a mark for himself in the film industry with movies like Neer Paravai, Jeeva, Mundasupatti, Indru Netru Naalai, Gatta Kusthi and Ratchasan, among others. His upcoming film, Lal Salaam is helmed by Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. It also stars Vikranth and former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev is playing a cameo. The film will hit the screens on February 9.
